[Evaluation of the effectiveness of the preparation Panzytrat 20,000 U in the substitute treatment of chronic pancreatitis].

Panzytrat 20,000 U produced by Knoll is a modern galenic form of active pancreatic enzymes in the form of microgranules with uniform enzymatic composition. The studies of the preparation effectiveness were carried out in 88 patients with diagnosed exocrine failure in the course of chronic pancreatitis. The patients were taking Panzytrat 20,000 for 4 weeks in doses 3 x 1 capsule with main meals. Control examinations were performed two and four weeks after starting the treatment, assessing the patients' condition on the basis of history taking and medical examination; taking into account weight gain, duration and intensity of pain and dyspeptic symptoms, frequency and character of defeacations and possible undesirable effects. In a group of 37 patients, BNT-PABA test was also performed before the treatment and after one capsule of Panzytrat. The treatment with Panzytrat 20,000 caused a statistically significant reduction of the number of defecations, significant reduction of pain and dyspeptic symptoms. A statistically significant increase of PABA recovery in urine was also obtained after one capsule of the preparation. Practically, no unfavourable effects of the treatment were observed. The studies carried out point to the high effectiveness of Panzytrat in dose 3 x 20,000. U daily in the treatment of exocrine pancreatic failure in the course of chronic pancreatitis.

[Role of nutrition in development of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis].

The diet of 45 men with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis in the period before the onset of the symptoms of the disease was studied. The dietary history was used as a tool in research of the dietary data. The diet of studied group was compared with the diet of 23 alcoholics without the symptoms of pancreatic injury and with the diet of 30 healthy men with similar age and social status. The energy intake and main nutrients content (especially protein and fats) was statistically higher in the studied group. High protein and fats consumption with high ethanol intake may promote the development of chronic pancreatitis.

Loperamide (imodium)--clinical trial.

1. Imodium (loperamide) produced by Chemical Works of Gedeon Richter, Budapest, is a useful preparation for the symptomatic treatment of both acute and chronic diarrhoea of various etiologies. 2. In chronic diarrhoea cases the best results were obtained in the treatment of functional disorders of the guts. 3. Side effects occurred only in few patients and with low intensity, the treatment had to be interrupted in none of the cases.

Megaloblastic anemia in patients receiving total parenteral nutrition without folic acid or vitamin B12 supplementation.

Pancytopenia developed in four patients receiving postoperatively total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Symptoms and signs were related mainly to underlying bowel disease. Hematologic abnormalities, first noted from 4 to 7 weeks following institution of TPN, consisted of normocytic anemia (mean decrease in hemoglobin value, 2.2 g/dL), occasional macrocytes being noted, leukopenia (range of leukocyte counts, 1.2 to 3.6 X 10(9) L), some hypersegmented neutrophils being detected, and clinically significant thrombocytopenia (range of platelet counts, 25 to 52 X 10(9)/L). In all patients the bone marrow showed megaloblastic changes, with ring sideroblasts, although pyridoxine was included in the TPN regimens. Serum vitamin B12 values were normal in one patient and at the lower limit of normal in the other two patients in whom it was measured, while serum or erythrocyte folate values, or both, were reduced in three patients. Full hematologic response was observed in the four patients after folic acid replacement therapy; leukocytosis and thrombocytosis were noted in three. Thus, folic acid and possibly vitamin B12 should be added routinely to TPN regimens to prevent deficiency of either substance.

Chronic pancreatitis in Warsaw.

The purpose of the study was an approximation of the incidence and prevalence of chronic pancreatitis (CP) in Warsaw (Poland) and the dietary habits before the onset of the disease. The number of CP cases treated in the District Hospital and in out-patients department was calculated. The incidence and prevalence of CP were analysed in ratio to 100,000 of the population of the Warsaw Bródno district. In the years 1982-1987 a group of 64 patients with CP were observed. The incidence and prevalence in 1987 were 5.0 and 17.0, respectively. Alcohol is the cause of about 73% of CP cases and its mean intake unit the development of the disease was 68 ml daily for about 16 years. Patients with CP consumed more protein and fats before the onset of CP in comparison with the general population in Poland. The intake of protein and fats before diagnosis of CP was 113 g/day and 175 g/day, respectively. The mean consumption of protein and fats in Poland in 1983 was 89 g/day and 117 g/day, respectively.

[Clinical evaluation of loperamide (Imodium)].

The clinical usefulness of loperamide (Imodium) was studied. The preparation was given to 35 patients with acute diarrhoea and 34 with chronic diarrhoea. A good effect was obtained in symptomatic treatment of acute and chronic diarrhoea. The best effects were noted in the treatment of diarrhoea due to functional disturbances.
